[78-L] Accent you hate

Dick Van Dyke's was bad, but the Oscar goes to Keanu Reeves in "Bram Stoker's Dracula". Runner-up is Winona Ryder in "Bram Stoker's Dracula".

Watched the 1934 version of "Of Human Bondage" last night. The 78 
connection was of Leslie Howard briefly working in a record shop in 
London. Unfortunately, the shop window had a placard advertising Little 
Wonder records.

Bette Davis's cockney accent should be placed in the Hall of Infamy 
alongside Dick Van Dyke's in "Mary Poppins" and Orson Welles's Irish 
accent in "The Lady From Shanghai"! You can add Tom Hank's indeterminate 
one in "Forrest Gump".
